Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits are soft, cheesy biscuits packed with cheddar and garlic flavor, then brushed with melted herb butter while they’re warm. This easy copycat recipe uses Bisquick and takes just about 20 minutes from start to finish.
I used to look forward to the basket of warm biscuits almost as much as the meal whenever we went to Red Lobster. I wanted an easy version I could make at home whenever that craving hit, and these cheesy garlic biscuits do the trick without a trip to the restaurant.
Why I Love This Recipe
Ingredient Notes
- Bisquick: Makes these biscuits quick and easy without measuring separate flour, baking powder, and salt. Store-bought Bisquick or homemade Bisquick can be used.
- Garlic Powder: Adds garlic flavor throughout the biscuit dough and gives them that familiar Cheddar Bay flavor.
- Butter: You’ll need one stick of butter for the recipe. It adds richness to the biscuits and can be brushed over the warm tops for extra buttery flavor.
- Cheddar Cheese: Shredded cheddar adds plenty of cheesy flavor. I recommend shredding the cheese yourself so it melts smoothly throughout the biscuits.
- Milk: Adds the moisture needed to bring the biscuit dough together. Regular whole or 2% milk works well.

How to Make Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits
Make the Dough: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grate the cold butter, then mix the Bisquick, 4 tablespoons butter, garlic powder, cheddar cheese, and milk until combined.
Shape the Biscuits: Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Bake: Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the biscuits are cooked through and lightly golden.
Add the Garlic Butter: Melt the remaining butter and mix with parsley. Brush over the warm biscuits before serving.
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Keep the butter cold: Cold butter helps create tender biscuits.
- Make them even: Use a scoop so the biscuits are similar in size and bake evenly.
- Brush while warm: Add the melted butter as soon as the biscuits come out of the oven.
